the U.S. as Refugees
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Rand Paul today announced legislation that
would suspend visa issuance for countries with a high risk of terrorism and
impose a waiting period for background checks on visa issuance from other
countries until the American people can be assured terrorists cannot enter
the country through our immigration and visa system. This legislation is
based off language first proposed by Sen. Paul in 2013.
“The time has come to stop terrorists from walking in our front door. The
Boston Marathon bombers were refugees, and numerous refugees from Iraq,
including some living in my hometown, have attempted to commit terrorist
attacks. The terrorist attacks in Paris underscore this concern that I have
been working to address for the past several years. My bill will press pause
on new refugee entrants from high-risk countries until stringent new
screening procedures are in place,” Sen. Paul said.
Sen. Paul’s legislation would suspend issuance of visas to nationals of
countries with a high risk of terrorism until the U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) certifies and Congress votes to approve that:
1) Aliens already admitted from high-risk countries have been fingerprinted
and screened, pose no terrorist risk, and are being monitored for terrorist
activity
2) Enhanced security measures are in place to screen future applicants and
prevent terrorists from entering the country
3) DHS' visa entry-exit system is 100 percent complete and a tracking system
is in place to catch attempted overstays
Additionally, the legislation would impose a 30-day waiting period for all
entries to the U.S. in order for background checks to be completed, unless
the traveler has been approved through the Global Entry program. This
requirement will be lifted after DHS certifies and Congress approves that:
1) Screening of entrants is sufficient to prevent terrorists from entering
the country
2) DHS' visa entry-exit system is 100 percent complete and a tracking system
is in place to catch attempted overstays
